Freezing Buttermilk...Works For Me Wednesday

It used to be that I would buy buttermilk for a recipe and 3 months later find the container curdling in the back of the refrigerator.No more! Do you know that buttermilk can be frozen?

Here's how I do it:

Put a freezer baggie in a large measuring cup so it doesn't fall over. Add 1 cup of buttermilk per bag and freeze.To thaw, place in the refrigerator overnight (if you're thinking ahead), or place in a bowl of water in the fridge, or under running water, and "massage" it every so often (the quick way).

{Just a side note...notice the store brand of baggies is called "Tough & Easy?" Hmmm. I really wish they'd change that. Seriously, who thought that name sounded like a winner?}
